Container with Sealing Lid

ABSTRACT

The present disclosure provides for an exemplary container with a containing base and sealing lid. The sealing lid and containing base may each comprise a portion of a sealing mechanism, wherein the contents of the containing base are sealed from external conditions. The seal may comprise an air-tight seal, a waterproof seal, or a hermetic seal. One or both the sealing to lid and the containing base may comprise a flexible material, which may allow for disengagement of the seal. In some embodiments, the containers and sealing lids may come in different variations and sizes, with different types of attachments for different uses.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

Historically, early civilizations used urns and clay pots for storage. Corks and wax were commonly used as a form of a lid to protect stored contents. As technology evolved, other materials for containers have been used, such as glass and metals. The prevalence of glass and the emergence of rubber led to the development of airtight jars, where a lid may comprise a rubber portion that may allow for a seal when the lid is tightened on a glass jar. With the emergence of plastics, containers have continued to evolve to allow for cheaper and durable options, such as Tupperware, which grew in popularity during the 1900s. Containers are commonly paired with lids to maintain the quality of the contents.

Common examples of container and lid use include keeping food, protecting clothes, or keeping jewelry safe. Lids are typically useful for moderate use, such as for disposable containers or containers that are infrequently opened. The problem is that lids and containers are typically not built for durability, unless for specialized storage. Most lids and containers, particularly rigid ones, are typically not built to be effective when the container is dropped. Either the container breaks, the lids breaks, or the lid disconnects from the container, all of which may cause the contents to fall out and become damaged. This is true regardless of material, including glass, plastics, and metals.

Despite the “airtight” lids advertised on commercials and constant innovation with respect to this issue, lids still warp, easily detach, or break over time, particularly when the container is dropped or misused. As a result, in many instances, the contents are damaged, ruined, or spoiled from the breakage or the ineffective barrier from external conditions.
